The carb will work on your boat.
The intake will only work if you have oval ports on your heads.

When I added the these oval port vortec heads to my boat, I picked up about 11 miles per hour. If you want to add cheap horse-power the vortec heads are the way to go along with the intake and carb.
 
sates,
you added the intake carb and heads and gained 11 mph? what were you running prior to that? did you do a cam change to. i have the 300/330 454 and would love to have seen those numbers!!!

tell me more!!

I had the 300/330 Gen. V ICU. The boat did 52mph at 4200 rpm when I bought it as it was way to slow. I added vortec heads, Edlebrock rpm intake, and a Gen IV Ecu to elliminate the rev limit. I would hit the rev limit at 4200 rpm so I had to change to the gen IV ICU to elliminate the rev limit and was able to spin over 5000 rpm with 22 pitch prop with ease. I did not change the cam. I think I could have gone up in pitch on the prop though.
